I make o-rings out of squishy foam like you would find in cushions. Sometime I come across a sheet of it from packing material that's just the right thickness. Cut out a circle, then cut a little hole in the middle and slide it over the axle before putting on the crankarms. They do a great job of keeping dirt out of the BB.
